Ionizing photons in UV-faint z~3-7 galaxies

DOI

The demographics of the production and escape of ionizing photons from UV-faint early galaxies is a key unknown in discovering the primary drivers of reionization. With the advent of JWST it is finally possible to observe the rest-frame optical nebular emission from individual sub-L* z>3 galaxies to measure the production of ionizing photons, {chi}ion. Here we study a sample of 370 z~3-7 galaxies spanning -23<M_UV_0.5) in our sample, based on their photometric properties, even amongst the Lyman-alpha selected galaxies. This work demonstrates that considering the full distribution of {chi}ion across galaxy properties is important for assessing the primary drivers of reionization.
